Original Fuel Sender Fit?
I have a '41 P-U with a new gas tank and repop sender. I want to substitute a mid-40's OEM King-Seeley sender for accuracy. Someone told me the K-S would not fit a new tank. I want to know why not?

Most new tanks don't have the same screw pattern as the original. They are made for the repop senders.

Re: Original Fuel Sender Fit?
Alan, measure the outside diameter of the repop sender and do the same on the original sender. If they are both the same size then the original may fit, but you may have to re-drill the holes in the original sender to match the tank holes. I have also seen some tanks with two sets of holes and they will use either the repop modern sender or an original sender.
